Jar of Whimsies

These are the little items I crafted to include in my package for the Jar of Whimsies Swap.  Whimsies can be just about anything small fun.  I sent quite a few teeny tiny store bought items but also had to include some handmade things.

Ribbon and Paperclip Bookmarks.

A wrap bracelet using hollow plastic tubing, beads, and charms

A Resin Pendant with a sweet bunny and rose.

Ring, Earrings, and Hair Pin using brass and resin flowers.

Manic Monday

 

The two fabulous jars I received in the Jar of Whimsies Swap

Craftster Hoopla Along January

 

I made this hoop for the Monthly Hoopla Along on Craftster.  The theme for January was To the Moon and Back.  I used A LOT of satin stitching on this hoop along with some back stitches, split stitches, and the stem stitch. I am trying to use new stitches rather than doing the same old back stitch all the time.

 I ended up sending the hoopla away to a fellow Craftster for a swap rather than keeping it for myself.

Tone Body Wash Review

I participate in campaigns for BzzAgent which means I get to try out new products that they send me.  Recently I was chosen to try out the new Tone Pink Peony & Rose Oil Body Wash.  Now I am usually a Bath and Bodyworks kind of girl but this body wash is a game changer for me.  It smells SO good!  It has a really great lather and leaves my skin feeling so soft when I get out of the shower.  They have a great variety of scents and products available from the body washes to hand soaps.  The next one I want to try is the Daily Detox with White Clay & Pink Jasmine.  The one and only thing that I can find lacking is they don't offer lotions that match the body wash scents.  So next time you are out shopping look for Tone products and give them a try!  You won't be disappointed.

*I received this product for free from BzzAgent to try and offer my opinion on it.
